Woohoo! Finally got it to look as good as russell's screenshots.

Very happy :p

It's been reported over at Miranda that if you have

"Hot track items as mouse passes over" enabled this will crash Miranda.

See if you have any luck with the skin once the option is disabled.

what is "Hot track items as mouse passes over" and how to disable it??

It basically means that as your mouse passes over a contact on your list, that contact will be highlighted in blue or whatever colour.

You can disable it by going to Options->Contact List->List . Make sure that option is not checked. And hit ok/apply.

Reload ModernClear and then restart Miranda. Or restart Miranda then load ModernClear.

Erm..should show up instantly as far as I'm aware.

Have you enabled avatar options for your protocols as well? I know that for Yahoo it has to be selected (Network->Yahoo->Show Avatars) and I *think* MSN Messenger 7 protocol needs to be enabled for MSN Avatars to show (Network->MSN Network).

I could be wrong though as I recall reading that you only need to enable MSN Messenger 7 if you want your contacts status messages.

I have enabled every avatar setting I could find and nothing show up in my contact list.

It works pefectly in the message window as it always had.

[gaabrysz]

i have a problem with groups. that is why i asked how did you do it cheazles :) (#1 in the picture)

and how to remove those icons (protocol icons) #2 in the picture

Including Row Items->Avatar->Show Avatars?

I know this is the most obvious one but sometimes the most obvious one is missed. Other than that...II'm not too sure.

Problem 2 - Options->Contact List->Status Bar then deselect show Status Bar.

Problem 1 - Involved me messing around in Contact List->Rows to get it that way.

I disabled variable row height and mucked around with Min Row Height Values. Sometimes you have to enable variable row height, change a value in min row height, then disable variable row height for it to change. Stupid I know.

I've also selected Ignore Size for row calc heights for Avatar, Icon and Text which helped make my clist look the way it does.

[gaabrysz]

Yup, been there done that.

So far one image has come up from an ICQ user. But nothing on all the messenger users and I can see that in the message windows they do have an avatar.

I have tried a fresh install of everything but the problem remains.

I got to be doing something wrong :huh:

Np :)

In regards to those dots, have a play with the options in Contact List->Window and under the heading Contact List Extra Icons. I have Client selected only. Also have a look at Contact List->Row Items for Avatar and Icon as they have an effect on how your contact list looks overall.

You can check out my chat window here.

The contact list has obviously been updated but that's what I'm still using for the chat stuff at the moment.

Strange, uninstalled and installed for the fourth time, after all the plugins was thrown in it worked like a charm.

Now just to look for some ver nice status icons :cool:

But I got a nice errormessage that I haven't seen i while. :D

[HipHopaholic]

Yep you're right. Miranda skins only skin the miranda main window itself.

They're called Proxal Icons by Angeli-Ka and you can get them here.

I'm assuming that's what you're talking about :p

Yes, thanks alot :cool:

[russellc]

i'm glad all of you enjoy the new skin. since i'm basically new (as most people are) to this skinning format, there is a little but which is addressed in the new thread.

i will update it as soon as i have time to :)

as for now, please direct all questions regarding the skin here

[pom]

Huff

Using modern, have image coder, loaded skins, however everything is still invisible. Theres just no contact list. What a shame :(

I can see the skin for a second when miranda loads, then its just all black boxes. If i try to load any skin then its just all invisible.
